Perhaps if GnuCash could be started by navigating to the actual executable file and double clicking on it. This would bypass concerns with failed file associations, broken shortcuts, etc. If successful, at the very worst, it should start and complain that it can't find the working file it used to know.
EG: My GnuCash 2.6.21 installation is found by opening windows explorer and typing this into the address bar. C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin (then press enter) In the list of files that shows up, I can see gnucash.exe If I double click on this file's icon, GnuCash starts and runs. My GnuCash version is several updates old, so Laurel's may be in a slightly different place. If she could find it, she could start the program directly from the executable and let us know what happens. Failing that, Laurel may be able to navigate to the same location via command prompt and start GnuCash with debug logging enabled in some verbose fashion. Someone else will have to chime in with details on whether and how it's possible.
